So … I’ve read and re-read all the “barrel lengths“ threads and info I could find… to the point of analysis-paralysis … I think I’ve convinced myself I want a 22” barrel for a new V22 360 order/build. Is there any reason a 22” barrel would be a mistake versus 20”?
V22 360 22”…?

Aside from a Nightforce ATACR, that’s the exact same “build“ I’m planning. I’m not as skilled, though, so I’m going to need the additional accuracy that comes with a Pale Brown chassis…Better balance in a rear heavy stock/chassis. That’s why I don’t have an 18” proof any more. My 22”MTU Vudoo three 60 balances perfectly in my AI chassis (no weights added). I’m very pleased with it. View attachment 7636284
FDE is the most accurate color, you might want to update your build plan.Aside from a Nightforce ATACR, that’s the exact same “build“ I’m planning. I’m not as skilled, though, so I’m going to need the additional accuracy that comes with a Pale Brown chassis…
I have a 22in mtu contour with a Bartlein barrel,it seems to balance better, and i didnt loose any velocity didn't gain but didnt loose, i like the tad bit more of weight along with a t-rec muzzle brake its titanium at the barrel threads but is bronze/brass at the end helped with accuracy ,had a a.t.s. tuner it didnt help at all if anything made it worse.... But NO SIR you will not regret going 22in a quite few people i shoot nrl22 and our matches at pps have them as well.
16"...?Better balance in a rear heavy stock/chassis. That’s why I don’t have an 18” proof any more
Absolutely! I would like a 13” for it just to match my AI but the 16” doesn’t look too bad with the 22” barrel. For reference this is a picture of my old AI chassis I had with a Vudoo with a 20” barrel and the 13” forend.
